Geek 2 Chic was founded in 2010 and is produced by Microsoft in partnership with The Men's Store at Bloomingdale's. During the show, "geeks" from large companies, nonprofit organizations, tech startups, and public service wear the latest fashions as they raise funds for the Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship.
